Can You Freeze Beets?
Beets can be frozen to preserve them for longer amounts of time.
To start, Lanuzza recommends boiling beet for about 20 to 30 minutes.
Then place them in freezer bags to store the freezer.
Beets can last up to 10 months in the freezer.
No, don’t wash beets before storing them.
The water can introduce bacteria to the beets which may make them break down faster in the fridge.
